| WHEREAS, The Texas House of Representatives is pleased to | ||

| construction of a molten salt research reactor to be located at ACU; | ||
| and | ||
| WHEREAS, The establishment of a molten salt research reactor | ||

| water into drinking water; and | ||

| RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas | ||
| Legislature, 2nd Called Session, hereby commend Natura | ||
